Why do they keep doing it when they're always on about climate change and looking after the earth.

So much wildlife displaced let alone trees destroyed. It's so ugly to look at in comparison to how it was too.

In my neighborhood, people sometimes have trees cut as a way of getting some money for a special project (Maine is a pretty poor state, and trees are our most plentiful natural resource), but they usually cut selectively and in small areas -- seldom this kind of clear-cutting.

It pains me to lose just one tree from disease or disaster, but a whole forest is unspeakable.
